    We had a terrific time! Sharon, the innkeeper was amazing and the home itself was great. On top of that, the breakfast was incredible! We never wanted to leave. What turned out to be a simple weekend getaway will hopefully turn into an annual visit! Sharon was also very helpful before our stay--she was kind enough to mail us passes to local wineries and the home of James Madison. Very highly recommend Holladay House!

    Perfect Honeymoon!

    Stayed at Holladay House for an extended period during and the Innkeepers treated us like family and would do anything they could for us. While the Inn has been modernized, it still has the feel of an old house on Main Street in a small town. Great side porch with rocking chairs. Several restaurants nearby including a great lunch spot called Real Food and a I nice little wine shop too. Holladay House is just what you think of when you think or a home away from home. Great for a weekend getaway or for longer if you want to explore the area. Can’t go wrong at Holladay House

    Everything at the Holladay House was just right during our recent stay. The room was pleasant, the public areas inviting, the breakfasts delicious, and the hosts attentive and helpful. Just when I had begun to think about not staying in B&B's, Sharon and Sam gave me every reason to continue.
